Case Study

Extended Producer Responsibility

With consumers and stakeholders placing an increased focus on sustainability and environment, many organisations are looking at ways they can minimise their impact on environment.

Extended Producer Responsibility can help an organisation to demonstrate a deeper commitment to reducing its environmental impact.

What is Extended Producer Responsibility?

Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) is the concept of brand owners and manufacturers taking environmental responsibility for their products and the associated packaging when they become waste. This can involve activities such as:

creating take back programmes

arranging waste collections, recycling or other suitable disposal

designing products for reuse or recyclability

A big part of Extended Producer Responsibility also involves engaging and encouraging the public to take responsible action with regard to your products.

What are the benefits of EPR?

The benefits to be gained from extended producer responsibility include:

generation of positive PR opportunities

additional marketing tool which can be used when bidding for tenders/new customers

improved environmental credentials

competitive advantage over others in your industry

can create jobs in local communities

strengthened customer loyalty
